Editing VPS Management (section)

= Ganeti VPS =

This is how to create a VPS on the Lamphost ganeti cluster.
I have created scripts for creating a FreeBSD VPS and one for
creating a Linux VPS.

== Ganeti Install a Linux VPS ==

To create a linux VPS use
<pre>
  /root/new <name>  <disk size> <memory> <IP Addr> [<OS>]

( for example /root/new vps.example.com 30 2 69.55.238.10 centos-8 )
</pre>

You need to customize the install by adding a "jci" account and a customer
account (col0XXXX) as well.  Make sure the customer acct (col0XXXX) is
in a group to allow sudo.

== Ganeti Install a FreeBSD VPS ==

To create a FreeBSD VPS, we have to do a full install.  This will 
create a new VPS. on gn1, do

<pre>
  /root/newfreebsd12 <name>  <disk size> <memory> <IP Addr> [<OS>]
</pre>

You will then have to do the install via VNC.

<pre>
gnt-instance info <name> | grep -i connection
</pre>

Use your favorite VNC client (I use Tiger VNC). to connect 

<br>
You need to customize the install by adding a "jci" account and a customer 
account (col0XXXX) as well. 
<br>
Make sure the customer acct (col0XXXX) is in a 
group to allow sudo (wheel). 

<br> 
You will need to install sudo.

<pre> 
pkg install sudo    # install sudo package
visudo              # to add wheel account to sudoers
vi /etc/group       # add jci and user acct to wheel
</pre>

<br>
You will also have to set up a console in /etc/ttys.
<pre>
vi /etc/ttys
  (change onifconsole to on for ttyu0).
</pre>

== Ganeti restart a VPS ==

To shutdown a ganeti VPS

<pre>
gnt-instance reboot <VPSname>
</pre>


== Ganeti shutdown a VPS ==

To shutdown a ganeti VPS

<pre>
gnt-instance shutdown <VPSname>
</pre>

To permanently delete a ganeti VPS

<pre>
gnt-instance remove <VPSname>
</pre>

== Ganeti Re-Intsall a VPS ==

Re-installing the OS will destroy all data on the VPS.
Login to the Ganeti master node (currently gn1).

To reinstall the OS on a VPS the VPS must be shutdown.
<pre>
gnt-instance shutdown <VPSname>
</pre>

Do the reinstall.
<pre>
gnt-instance reinstall <VPSname>
</pre>

Restart the VPS.
<pre>
gnt-instance startup <VPSname>
</pre>

Now you need to do the customization for the VPS.  This is
basically the same as the Dedicated server customization.

<carriage return>
<carriage return>
<carriage return>
</pre>

Use jci and appropriate Ganeti jci password.

or you can ssh to the VPS name or IP address.
